Not a full bumper and might need a different winch but maybe an option? https://www.cjcoffroad.com/products/vice-designs-hidden-winch-mount-2013-2018-ram-2500-3500-6-7-cummins

Probably works the same way as a normal drive axle and only regens on deceleration.

Nice. My Cache Camper has been doing well for me so far. It’s built out more and heavier than the Fishhook but still way under my 3500’s payload.

Right now a Starlink Mini ($299 in US) and its service ($10/month 10GB) is cheaper than a good quality radio and antenna and arguably far more useful in more situations. I’d still go with an Inreach or PLB for emergency use over either option.

You typically don’t get gasoline but free air CO2 capture technology has been used successfully to create various fuel sources out of the extracted carbon.

They both work fine. Unless you’re running some kind of high bandwidth online business the high performance is absolutely unnecessary. The Mini is smaller, doesn’t require a separate router and still gets 100mbps and faster when I use it. The Standard will let you put the router inside your...

You can select either the mini or standard dish for your service when purchasing it.

Do you know what model your power converter is? Depending on that it may be as simple as flipping a switch to change to a lithium charge profile. If it isn’t compatible it is easy and fairly cheap to swap to a converter that is. Do you have solar? Same concept there - does your current charge...

My mini draws about 20 watts. It needs a 100 watt USB-C PD or also works with a 65 watt USB-C PD with a short cord.

If you’re already camping in a tent why the concern about a pop up camper with fabric walls?

To me they are similar but not the same at all. My Inreach can sit in my pocket and always be with me in an emergency. My Starlink is great for many things but is not for emergencies. If I fall and break my leg or back out hunting/fishing/camping/etc I’m not going to be breaking out a Starlink...

No. They are entirely different devices designed for different purposes. A starlink is not an emergency beacon.

For $300k I would have expected the build not to look like someone went through the cheap apartment contractor aisle at Home Depot.

The testing I did with it was in my backyard with both WiFi and cell coverage. Figured turning it off was part of the steps since it asks about it.

A cell booster would not help, completely different system. Did you have your cell service and WiFi disabled? Pretty sure last time I played with the emergency satellite thing in the phone it made me do that first.
